burn sucker burn.....


i guess over a hundred years ago, the original kamloops indian residential school
burnt to the ground. it was constructed of wood. there are, of course, no records
of how many native children died. but, when i first worked in the current
scary, goth looking brick building. i used to hear kids playing in the halls
and see stuff all the time. weird ghosty stuff. oh, i used to work graveyard shift either drawing or silkscreening, which meant, i was hearing kids running up and down the halls playing well past midnight. i even saw the ghost of a priest or something in black walk through a room i was working in. it gave me the chills. and i packed up and left immediately.

i shouldn't say this, but a few times, some friends and i dropped acid and ran around the building peaking out, and looking for hidden passages and stuff. i can't tell you what we found. but it was creepy. i think part of you dies when you see things you aren't supposed to see. anyways, scary buildings i would be happy to see burn to the ground. of course, there are toxic levels of asbestos wrapped around the pipes in the basement, so, that's another hazard. if wasn't small pox blankets, it was asbestos. man, they really wanted to get rid of us.

I too have heard some weird stuff there...the stairwell at the bottom where you can hide under the stairs...
I can hear and see things just barely on the edge of my hearing and vision...
You don`t need statistics and investigations to know that children died there...
